Abstract Insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF‐1R) supports neuronal survival against a wide variety of insults. This includes tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNFα)‐mediated neuronal damage, which represents one of the factors suspected to play a role in HIV‐associated dementia (HAD). PC12 neurons engineered to express human IGF‐1R (PC12/IGF‐1R) maintain neuronal processes on collagen IV for several weeks. However, prolonged treatment with TNFα caused degeneration of neuronal processes, with no apparent signs of apoptosis. In this process, TNFα did not affect IGF‐1‐mediated phosphorylation of IRS‐1, IRS‐2, Akt, or Erks. In addition, PC12/IGF‐1R cells were found to express predominantly α1β1 integrin, which has high affinity to collagen IV. The treatment of PC12/IGF‐1R neurons with a specific α1β1 integrin inhibitor, obtustatin, also caused loss of neuronal processes, accompanied by a quick cell detachment and extensive apoptosis. In the presence of IGF‐1, both TNFα‐induced and obtustatin‐induced degeneration of neuronal processes were effectively inhibited. Furthermore, TNFα‐mediated neuronal degeneration correlated with decreased attachment of PC12/IGF‐1R cells to collagen IV and with a reduced level of α1β1 integrin, consistent with a role for this surface protein in the maintenance of neuronal processes. Thus the neuroprotective effects of IGF‐1 are not restricted to its antiapoptotic properties but also involve an additional neuroprotective mechanism, by which IGF‐1 counteracts the negative effect of TNFα on α1β1 integrin‐mediated attachment to collagen IV. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
